    摘要: The startability of an ultraviolet ray generation device including an excimer lamp as an ultraviolet light source is to be improved. An ultraviolet ray generation device includes: an excimer lamp having a discharge container in which a discharge gas is sealed; a first electrode body and a second electrode body that are disposed so as not to be exposed to the discharge gas; and a first conductor electrically connected to one of the first electrode body and the second electrode body. The first conductor faces the other electrode body or a second conductor electrically connected to the other electrode body, through a dielectric member. The first conductor causes an atmospheric discharge around the first conductor.

    摘要: An ultraviolet irradiation device includes a light source that emits light showing light intensity in a first wavelength band of 200 nm to 235 nm and a second wavelength band of 240 nm to 280 nm; an optical filter that suppresses the light intensity in the second wavelength band and has transmittance characteristics according to an incident angle of the light emitted from the light source. A first/second angular distribution of light is obtained from a spectrum for each light distribution angle of the light emitted from the optical filter. The first angular distribution of light has a first angle of a light beam showing maximum intensity, the first angle substantially matching with a second angle of a light beam showing maximum intensity in the second angular distribution of light.

    摘要: A device for emitting ultraviolet light includes at least one excimer lamp and a housing for the excimer lamp(s). Each excimer lamp has a discharge vessel filled with light-emitting gases, and a pair of first and second electrodes that are placed in contact with the discharge vessel and produce a dielectric barrier discharge inside the discharge vessel. The housing is made of an insulating and heat-resistant resin material. The housing is configured to house the excimer lamp(s), and has a light-emitting window that allows light with a center wavelength in a range from 200 nm to 230 nm emitted from the excimer lamp(s) to exit from the housing.
